Pastoral Care

Spiritual care is essential to the treating the whole person. The
Pastoral Care Team works wih patients to draw on resources of faith to
experience a meaningful quality of life during this time.

Palliative care is a partnership among patients, medical specialists and
family members to ensure the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of
a patient are met. Northside’s Palliative Care Team is
interdisciplinary, combining the expertise and knowledge of physicians,
nurse practitioners, medical social workers and chaplains who have
specialized training in helping patients to treat the discomfort,
symptoms and stress of a serious illness.

Nutrition Services

Clinical dietitians play an integral role in both the inpatient and
outpatient oncology programs. All patients admitted to the Oncology unit
are assessed and monitored by a clinical dietician who assists in
meeting nutritional needs. Dieticians also work with outpatients in
radiation oncology to help identify patients at high nutrition
risk.

Network of Hope

When patients are facing cancer, they need a special kind of support
that can only come from someone who knows what they are going through,
someone who has been through it themselves. Network of Hope (NOH)
connects patients with specially trained survivor volunteers, who have
faced cancer and embraced life afterward. The program helps foster an
open environment so patients and their families feel supported and not
alone. For information, contact (404) 851-8707 or networkofhope@northside.com.
